As a prospective homebuyer, you are about to make a significant purchase and a major life decision. Most people only do this a few times in their lifetime, so it's important to be well informed and equipped with the knowledge, tools, and expert advice you need to make the right choice. At BLDG Realty, our goal is to walk you through every phase of the homebuying process and make it as stress-free as possible.
Before you start searching for a home, it's important to understand your needs and preferences. Think about the type of place you're looking for – do you need more bedrooms or more space? Do you want a pool or a larger backyard? Do you need to downsize or are you looking for a single-story home with good schools? We'll start with a simple, no-pressure conversation to learn more about your situation, where you are in the home-buying process, and how we can support you.
There are thousands of real estate agents to choose from, so how do you find the one that's right for you? It's important to pick carefully, as your agent will be acting as your representative and looking out for your best interests. Look for a trained professional who knows your area inside and out.
The last thing you want is to fall in love with a home that's simply outside of your price range. Getting pre-approved for a loan will prevent this from happening and allow you to focus on looking at homes that not only meet your criteria, but also fit within your price range. If you don't already have a lender, we have great lenders that we've worked with and trust completely to handle the task for you.
Not only will we send you listings that meet your needs and wants, but we'll also set you up on MLS alerts so that new listings are sent straight to your inbox. After browsing homes online and visiting the ones you really love in person, we'll get together and decide which home is the one for you.
When it's time to make an offer on your new home, we want you to be 100% confident in the property, the location, and the offer terms. We'll have an open and honest conversation about what the best offer for you looks like. Sometimes offers are accepted right away, but other times negotiations can be drawn out. No matter the circumstance, you'll have a strategic partner by your side looking out for you. At the end of the day, the final decision will be yours to make.
Once your offer is accepted, the real fun begins! There will be inspections, an appraisal, and a seemingly endless number of documents to sign. But don't worry – we'll be by your side to arrange everything, answer any questions, and lend expert advice on any decisions that need to be made. When closing day comes, you'll be handed the keys to your new home – congratulations! It's an exciting time and we're here to help you every step of the way.
"Mike has been responsive and excellent since the first phone call! After an initial phone call, he quickly set the wheels in motion to make sure we had what we needed to have aligned. Our requirement for our home was a little different, as we believe in Vastu Shastra we needed the front door of the home in a certain direction. As we have started to look for a new home, he has been quick to pass on homes we might have an interest in that aligns with our need and quickly show them to us in this fast-moving market. Mike truly satisfied and surpassed every expectation we had for a real estate agent. He took the time to sit down and explain the process to us and genuinely listened to the vision we had for our home. Not only is Mike professional and competent in his role, but he is also very knowledgeable, making all communication with him enjoyable. You can feel the positive vibes in each of his effort, that one thing alone is key in any business to make things happen. I will definitely be recommending Mike to anyone in the need of an agent because I know they will be well taken care of."

"Mike has been an absolute pleasure to work with the entire homebuying process. We are first time homebuyers and during the heated market in the pandemic, have had a lot of struggles finding an appropriate house. We have also worked with other realtors in the past, but no one had even close to the quality of service as Mike. What really sets him apart is that he gives you NO pressure during your search and genuinely wants you to find a home that is suitable for your needs and budget. When we were touring houses, he was very patient with us and answered and addressed all our questions and concerns. He was also great in remembering the criteria you are looking for in a house and tailoring your home search to that. When we were interested in a home, he was also very communicative with both us and the seller, and he does an excellent job of representing you as the buyer in gaining all the information you need to make a competitive offer. During escrow everything was followed under a close timeline and the process went by seamlessly. Even after closing he even sent a cleaning service to clean our new home to new again. Thank you so much Mike! Highly recommend."

"Mike was so patient with us. We were looking at houses for the better part of 4 months. I know we weren't his only clients but he made us feel that way. The housing market was so tight and houses were going so fast and we were so...choosy. Mike helped us sell our previous house--we got a good price and it sold so fast we weren't really prepared for it. Then he shopped new houses with us, always keeping our criteria in mind. He never pressured us in the least. When we finally found our new home, Mike made the purchase paperwork go smoothly and hooked us up with an excellent money guy. Mike didn't just treat us like good clients--he treated us like friends--like he wanted to be sure his new friends got exactly what they were looking for."
